The Toothbrush

And you think it is for cleaning teeth
beware what power such a simple thing has

You came for dinner and we shared a drink
We had met before and desire was in the air
time together was a pleasure - we had time to think
we enjoyed each others company and started to care

I was due to leave soon - to head away
a cross roads was for us clearly in sight
so you planned after dinner to stay.
the evening was fiinishing now it felt right

My heading was spinning
thoughts of lust stoking my desire
but deeply alarm bells were ringing
muffled because my passion was on fire

the night was complete - it was getting late
you said you could stay you had a toothbrush
blood rising - we were in an excited state
we lay together inflamed in the nights hush

passion aroused but it remained unquenched
teased tormented lead astray
to stop it all now a hell of a wrench
a clever gambit the toothbruush had played

The morning came - a smile, naked we lay
we talked of the future together or apart
I was going still - what could I say
was this the end or only the start
